Robert "The Bobby Yaga" McNees @mcnees.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Karl Schwarzschild passed away from complications associated with an illness he acquired on the Russian front, less than a year after sending his letter to Einstein. 2160
karpad @karpad.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I do love the nominative determinism of the guy who did the math describing the event horizon which prevents direct observation of a black hole being named "Black Shield" (I am also aware that is a radical oversimplification to the point of error, forgive me) 000
